THIS GAME IS GETTING COMPLICATED

Certainly, Rider insisted that the book was "preparation for war". But how on Earth can a book that isn't even about war strategy be helpful on the battlefield? 

"Rider... Why, did you, bring this book?" 

At Waver's bitter question, the Heroic Spirit answered with a grave expression. 

"The Iliad is very profound. At the height of battle, I would suddenly get the urge to read a verse of poetry. At a time like that, I feel bad when I can't reread something immediately." 

"..." 

He feels like his interlocutor just gave him a bullshit answer, but fear stops him from arguing back. 

"At a time like that, you mean... In battle?" 

"Yes." 

Rider nods nonchalantly as if his reply was perfectly normal. 

"... But how?" 

"With my left hand, when I hold my sword in my right hand. If I need to hold the bridle with my left hand, I get a page to read it aloud." 

"..." 

Waver felt at loss for words at the unimaginable answer. 

"It isn't that surprising. The warriors of my era all lived a life of battle. Battling while drinking and eating, embracing women while battling, battling even while sleeping. Anyone can do that." 

Just ask him and he won't stop. This man does seem like he could do all that, but... 

"You're kidding, right?" 

"Of course. You fool." 

He sniggered and gave an exploding flinch on Waver's forehead. 

"Gyaa---h!!"

Waver and Rider best Master&Servant pair or best Master&Servant pair?  Mind you the two are on top of a bridge.  And I'm talking on the arch on top of the bridge.  Awesome.

"People say murder is a crime. But let's think about it. Aren't there 5 billions of humans crowding on this Earth? Ryūnosuke knows well how outrageous a number that is. Because he counted the gravels in the park when he was a kid. Of course he got discouraged after ten thousand, but he didn't forget the frustration he felt that time. There are five hundred thousand times that many humans. Furthermore, it is said that the number of births and deaths everyday can be counted by the tens of thousands. What weight can Ryūnosuke have by becoming a murderer? Beside, by killing people one by one, Ryūnosuke can perfect each of their death thoroughly. Occasionally, he enjoys making sure the "process of death" takes up to half a day. With this incentive and experience, the information volume brought by one death can be much more important compared to what you can get by living a too short life. From Uryū Ryūnosuke's reasoning, can't you say that homicide is a more productive action?"

You are one homicidal maniac Ryuunosuke.

His first kill was his sister and he has just been leaving her in the shed of his parent's house or something, hidden I'm guessing.  That's so messed up.  Unlike Dexter this guy kills indiscriminately.
